Hinge Female
The Hinge Female is a mechanical joint component featuring an internal thread that connects with a male hinge or threaded rod, allowing for angular movement in an external fixator assembly. It serves as one half of a hinge mechanism and is typically used in joint-spanning fixators, angular deformity correction, or in constructs requiring controlled motion—such as elbow, knee, or ankle applications. This component allows a precise pivot point, facilitating both range of motion exercises and static support, depending on how it’s locked or set. It is often part of hinged distraction systems or dynamized fixation frames. Material: Primary Material: Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 316L) – for strength, biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance Optional Material: Anodized Aluminum or Titanium – lighter and MRI-compatible versions available Surface Finish: Polished or matte Autoclavable and suitable for long-term surgical use Threading: Internal female thread to receive hinge male component or threaded rod
- Joint-Spanning External Fixation – Commonly used across elbows, knees, or ankles to allow motion during healing.
- Angular Deformity Correction – Allows controlled angular adjustment during gradual correction procedures.
- Distraction Osteogenesis with Angular Control – Permits dynamic adjustments without disassembling the frame.
- Postoperative Range of Motion Management – Enables patients to regain mobility during staged healing.
- Multiplanar Frame Integration – Adds articulation to complex constructs in hybrid or circular fixators.
- Articulated Hinge Mechanism – Enables precise angular movement at joint level.
- Threaded Female Design – Accepts compatible male hinge or rods.
- Durable & Rigid When Locked – Holds position under load.
- Smooth Operation – Minimizes wear and friction during motion.
- Reusable & Sterilizable – Suitable for repeated surgical use.
- Compatible with Standard Systems – Fits most ring or rail fixator setups.
